Off the shelf dropshipping modules all range around $500 in price, which is a bit pricey considering that you will need a programmer to customize the scripts for every feed. We suggest you opt for one of the free modules above, and then submit a project on Elance.com for customization of the module for x number of feeds. You will then get an idea of the cost of integrating each new feed onto your store; every time you want to add a new range to your website you will be aware of the costs involved.

No matter what you may read, you will always need some level of custom scripting to integrate a new product feed onto your ecommerce site. If you come across services that claim to offer you a website pre-filled with thousands or even millions of products, beware that those services tend to be overcrowded and for that reason margins become non existent to outright losses.

I'll take a look through the links you have provided however I have only very recently spent quite a bit of time and money setting up a Magento store and only recently have I acquired the requirement for drop shipping, therefore I'm a little reluctant to switch carts unless absolutely necessary.

Do you know any standalone dropshipping tools which I could export my order data to? I am a *fairly* competent coder and so I could probably get Magento speaking to an independent tool.

You are unlikely to find anything as well maintained as the Magento Dropshipping Extension. Even if you did find something free / open source, it would still need to be customized to fit your requirements.
